#61 of 103 Re: European Delivery? [qbrozen] by jaxs1 Apr 06, 2007 (7:11 am)
Replying to: qbrozen (Apr 06, 2007 6:48 am) Volvo doesn't build all their cars in Sweden. I found out they will be building the C30 in Belgium. However, since that is still Europe, maybe they will still have a European Delivery program.   Other European car makers like BMW and VW build some of their vehicles in South America, South Africa and even the United States.

Replying to: qbrozen (Apr 05, 2007 8:47 am) Volvo is increasing the power of the T5 engine across the board. From 218 to 227 hp.

Replying to: jaxs1 (Apr 05, 2007 7:00 pm) Car are manufactured at the Ghent plant in Belgium. Yes, Euro Delivery will be available. We just don't know when. Cars will be available in the US in Sept.

Replying to: qbrozen (Apr 06, 2007 7:13 am) I think the S40 is also built in Belgium. There was a couple picking up one at the Gothenburg factory delivery center when we were there in February.
#67 of 103 New Zealand pricing for the C30 by cmarvel May 05, 2007 (7:57 pm)
I'm just back from a trip to New Zealand (I live in the U.S).   The Kiwi's (New Zealanders) were set to receive the first of this year's allocation of 24 C30's as I was leaving on May 3rd. A week before that a Wellington dealer had an ad in that city's newspaper for delivery "Under $40K," which translates into $30K U.S$ at the current exchange rate. But that price had the inevitable * above it.   I read about the 24 unit allocation in the Auckland Sunday edition of that city's newspaper, in the Auto section. The article indicated that only the top-of-the-line model would be supplied, including the T5 engine and Tiptronic transmission. It was obviously prepared from a Volvo of New Zealand press release. The "official" price was close to $46K NZ, which would work out to about #34,5K U.S.$.   It seemed to me that Volvo was playing to the "just gotta have it" market for this year. There's plenty of prosperity in New Zealand right now, so the strategy will probably work.   I don't really know what this means for the U.S. Just thought some of you might be interested.

Replying to: cmarvel (May 05, 2007 7:57 pm) The US price has already been announced as starting at less than $25K. The standard equipment levels may not be the same though. Replies to this message: qbrozen (May 07, 2007 10:51 am)

Replying to: jaxs1 (May 05, 2007 8:03 pm) its right around $23k, as a matter of fact, and comes standard with the T5 engine. woohoo!

Replying to: volvomax (Jan 08, 2007 8:52 am) The Volvo will be quicker than the GTI, C30 0-60 in 6.2, GTI in 7.2   where did you get those times? the last gti car and driver tested was a four door and it hit in 6.2, lofty yes, but 7.2 sec? There is no way a gti is slower than a 4 door si. I suspect that the c30 and gti will have very similar 0-60 times. But in no way will one be 'smoking'the other.
